Our first problem has been trying to move files from our MAC to our external hard drive

The External drive was used on our windows laptop before and we are attempting to move a downloaded movie from our MAC to the hard drive so we can use software (VSO) on our laptop to convert it to a watchable DVD

however, despite holding down the command button on our keyboard, the file will not move

Any solutions or is there similar software to VSO for a MAC that we can use?

File transfers from your Mac to a Windows formatted drive will be limited as your drive is likely formatted NTFS and is likely limited to 4 GB transfer limits. Though, I''ve had issues with files over 2 GB.
